The potential of P2P seems to be immense - but like most new ideas it's potentially a double-edged sword, and a lot of confusion surrounds it.

Then the phrase peer-to-peer (P2P) became part of our lexicon and vendors jumped on the bandwagon and built a raft of so-called P2P products. Hi tech derivatives, trend predictions and P2P philosophy are now in full force. What's hype and what's real?
The world remains full of possibilities. And technology, with its pervasive influence on our lives, can sometimes overwhelm us.
